[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 2463, member: 457"] Hello Nebraska, I recently has similar thoughts as I am having my 25/06 tuned and re-barrelled with a 27" Lilja #8. I studied Ackley's old writings and talked with a number of shooters, both local and online. My decision was still uncertain, but when I sat down and put pencil to paper regarding fire forming costs, the AI cartridge just did not justify itself for my purposes. I decided against the Weatherby as I wanted to be able to buy bulk brass reasonably, both locally and online. All in all, the 25/06 has done everything I have asked of it. Keep in mind, my rifle is primarily a varmint rig and sees at least 100 rounds down the tube weekly, therefore, cost of components and barrel life are a prime consideration for me. Which ever way you go, I think you'll enjoy the calibre. Damned impressive bullets that seem to exhibit terminal ballistics well out of proportion from what would be expected. Good luck. ~Holmes [ 08-12-2002: Message edited by: Holmes ] [/QUOTE]
